Erin Efaw is a dear and treasured friend of ours.  She works with the African Community Center and she recently sent us this note.  –Sarah D-T

As the weather is getting colder, blankets for our new arrivals from across the globe are increasingly important. At the moment, the African Community Center is really short on blankets and bedcovers.

If you have any extra on hand that you could donate, please take them Safari Seconds at 4th and Broadway, drop them off at my office at 1201 E. Colfax Avenue (at Colfax and Marion), or contact me (303-399-4500).

With Great Gratitude,

A bit about the African Community Center…

The African Community Center is Denver's newest Refugee Resettlement program which welcomes newcomers who have had to flee persecution within their home country. Many of our clients arrive in the United States with little but possess great hope about their lives in America.

The African Community center conducts educational and social service programs that help newcomers resettle in their new communities and acculturate, recover from past trauma, gain personal independence and economic self-sufficiency, and quickly become able participants and productive, contributing members of American society. In addition, our agency works with African community-based organizations to provide technical assistance in developing the leadership capacity to serve their respective communities.

Our community outreach also promotes awareness about refugee issues and the challenges faced by newcomers as they move through the resettlement and cultural adjustment process. The African Community Center engages newcomers and members of the wider community to enhance cross-cultural communication.
